Banned Books Week Hop Winner

Congrats to Lindsay D. for winning the Banned Books Week giveaway hop. The winner will be notified via email and will have no more than 72 hours to respond before another winner is drawn. Winners are selected by the reputable Random.org.

Banned books in general is a topic that’s close to all our hearts. For the most up-to-date information on banned books, please take the time and visit American Library Association (ALA) or another favorite, Jennifer and her inspiring blog: I read banned books. Banned books are ones we take for granted. I do my part in supporting all types of literature including newly released, classics, indie published and especially banned books. As a writer and a lover of literature, I believe wholeheartedly in reading just about anything you can get your hands on. I certainly don't want to limit my reading list based on someone else's censorship and I'm willing to bet you don't either. Get the facts first about a book - try reading it even - before you pass judgement on it.

On another note, thanks to Kathy from I’m a Reader Not a Writer for coordinating this hop. And a HUGE thanks to everyone who participated. THANK YOU! I also want to thank my Free Sh** fairy for hooking me up with another delicious giveaway. Everyone together now, "Thanks free sh** fairy!"

This month’s giveaway is the one of my favs: The Spooktacular Giveaway Hop and it starts October 24th and runs through October 31st. Stop by for the fun. Wahoo!!! I love Halloween.

Last but not least, I have a few interesting reviews scheduled this month – ones you won’t want to miss. Creepy Classic, Treasure Island is on the docket plus a whole lot more.
